Cultivated pigeonpea has a narrow genetic base. Wild relatives play an important role in broadening its genetic base. The utilization of wild species from the secondary gene pool are important as they are closely related leading to normal chromosome recombination. This helps in the transfer of useful genes/traits to cultivated pigeonpea (Mallikarjuna et al., 2011). Until now C. lanceolatus had not been successfully crossed as previous report obtained F1 hybrids, but they did not reach the reproductive stage.

♦ Bruchid (Callosobruchus maculatus F) is well known pest of pigeonpea in storage world wide. The present study shows that C. lanceolatus is a good source of resistance to bruchids. The larval/pupal period was prolonged in C. lanceolatus (57-81days) compared to 35 days on the female parent ICPL 85010 indicating the antibiosis mechanism of resistance in the wild species. Many of the hybrids showed different levels of resistance to bruchids.
